down and reopened the street just across from the pile of rubble is this lot which has been empty for decades, growing weeds and adding to the general blight. >> we finally run out of patience. >> so the city is forcing new developments. >> now we have two holes but it's an opportunity. it's a wonderful opportunity to turn that around. >> my hope is that everything will be taken care of and business will come back and the city will cooperate and try to help us out here and get us out of this small hole that has been provided for us. >> there are so many fun shops there. i had such a good time. >> i was there when they were trying to take down the building. it was dead quite, middle of the day and close to the weekend and people just aren't working down there because it's so tough to physically find it. >> right. right in front of the holidays. >> yeah murphy's law. >> that is apparently when these businesses do up to 40%

the grey is not an indicator of rain quite yet w. very to wait until later tonight into monday. as you're temperaturing out the door, temperatures on the warmer side. 5 to 10 diagnoses warmer than where we were sitting yesterday at this time, in fact because of the cloud cover that we have seen pushed from the coastline on shore. into the afternoon, we'll see temperatures that are cooler as our highs than what we saw yesterday. definitely going to need a jacket. highs making it into the mid 50s. mostly sunny skies. we are seeing a weak on shore flow. that's pushing into the inland valleys and that will be the reason we'll actually see some of the cooler temperature assuming long this afternoon. now, you see this system drop down from the pacific northwest, we'll see minimal rainfall totals. any rain we see is only going to be a couple of tenths of an inch at most. we'll only get a few hundreds of an inch. the santa cruz mountains will see the bulk of the wet weather. most will be to the south as

the temperature drops down and we start to see heavier rain fall most of that will be the california mexico border. you might need the umbrella but not a wash out by any means. you're going to be on the cooler side as well. 57 is the high in redding and sacramento. for our highs here in the bay area, 50s for the most part. mountain view, topping out at 56. heyward at 51. 51 for danville, same story for napa and no 60s on the board here in the north bay. oakland topping out at 54. slight chance of rain starting tonight into tomorrow but we're not putting that on the extended 7 day you can see keeping just mosley cloudy skies for monday and then we'll see sunshine as high pressure builds on tuesday. wednesday seeing mostly sunny skies as well and this is the

system we want to watch more closely. later on in the week, wednesday into thursday is when we'll start to see more showers once again not seeing significant rainfall totals but should be a little bit more than what we're getting sunday night into monday. every little bit helps, especially when we have been waiting to long so see any wet weather. it's becoming unseasonable not to have moisture this time of the year. >> presidential debate last night was a good one and the first one since herman cain was out of the race and we saw newt gingrich leading the pack ahead of the presidential debate in iowa. but does he have what it takes to beat president obama. ever? >> good morning. the first question i've got to ask you, newt gingrich rocketing back up the polls. is this real? >> totally and completely.

the quality of everybody else on that poll is so bad that newt looks good. >> yes but i understand the republican insiders are actually liking him being the nominee, why. >> if you're on his team you love him. he is polling better but does not poll well with independents. >> in your last column, you describe newt as having not just a skeleton in his closet, you said he had a graveyard full of skeletons. he's been married three times, he left his wife in a hospital bed. >> he didn't leave her, he took her the papers. >> he's going to have to explain himself. he'll have conversations with several other people that have been in that category including herman cain and bill clinton, just maybe in america you're going to have the first personality that you don't have to say has scandals.

he is a scandal. >> okay 31% of folks, marriage, that kind of issue is a deal breaker but to many it's not. >> what do you think it is? >> if he's up against obama who is mr. family man it does not look good. >> and believe me, you're going to see more of the daughters than you have ever seen and of course the wife is going to be incredibly sympathetic to all the ex-wifes. so it should have fun. >> briefly for a minute, this week in oakland, took out the signatures to recall mayor, your analysis. >> there are two separate groups collecting signatures and the city attorney is going to have to rule that anybody that signs, if they're properly assigned has to be counted if it shows up tateyama time and the place appropriately. that means jean is going to be running against herself and the one thing you don't ever want to do in the world of politics

we're sympathetic to the movement but we think that what's happening over time is it's changing. it is changing here as also around the nation. you find more homeless encampment rather than an occupy. >> is camping there illegal. >> it is. >> why are you allowing it. >> our city basically figure as long as it was nonviolent and contained in this one particular area we have a park and it didn't effect anyone particularly. we haven't had a lot of complaints until recently. we didn't want to have a heavy hand at this point and time. we think people should have the right to protest and petition their government and stuff so we just felt that it was not appropriate to step in and have a heavy hand. but things have been progressing so it's been a long time and, you know, we have to

rethink it, particularly when we see incidents occurring in the park itself. >> are you considering going in and doing a raid. >> we're still doing a wait and see kind of attitude. we don't feel its reached the point, at least right now that we need to do anything and if we do, you know, we will do it in a nonviolent way. >> yeah, very interesting. the people that even other journalists i've talked to about it, we haven't paid a lot of attention to the camp in berkley. there was so much attention being paid to san francisco and oakland but a lot of them have gone to berkley. >> especially since the others have been raided all eyes are on this one and these people are probably wondering are we next. >> right and he has a lot of patients with them but it does look like he is making moves toward some sort of, i think it's going to be a long process. >> just a question of when. >> exactly. >> all right. looking ahead to the weather

santa clar university was offering him a full scholarship. he had a 3.9 gpa at a school designed to give low income kids a real education. five years later, we see the pay off as a young man crosses the stage to receive his second degree, a masters in mechanical engineering. the home video is fuzzy but the accomplishment is not. >> i was able to make it, anyone can make it. a kid like myself who going into high school could barely read and write. going from the worst of districts in the country for elementary school. >> it was known as the murder capitol of the country when he was growing up there and he saw the crime and the poverty firsthand.

his father has been in prison for his entire life. his mother raised three children in a tiny crowded home. she was always working. >> 6:00 in the morning she went off to work. she would come back, give us food and then later that night she would go work as a janitor. >> he remembers her not eating so her children would have enough food. so gio told us he could hardly wait until he was old enough to get a work permit and a job. >> can you tell us your mayor yet? >> i'm in high school, i'm going to college. >> okay. >> i work to help my mom with the rent. i help get food, help buy clothes for my little brother, for me, for my mom. >> being the father figure for his younger brother and having all of those responsibilities, it is astonishing what he accomplished. he is so appreciative of every opportunity that he's ever had.

to find out how. >> we have the chance at rain this week. i keep saying it but it's really probably not going to have. >> i've been wanting to say it. >> everybody is excited. rain maybe potentially, wet weather in the forecast because we do need it. you're right. it's a slight chance and it will be very minimal rainfall totals. the majority of the moisture will be to the south but we're starting to see the cloud cover already in the forecast as you're taking a lookout side, you'll see those clouds this morning and temperatures, though, because of that cloud cover, a little bit on the warm side. numbers 5 to 10 degrees warmer. so that's a positive thing to look at in terms of the clouds we're seeing. looking outside at the golden gate bridge, we will see partly sunny conditions by the afternoon. looks like we have rain on lenses but i think it's dirt on the camera. no wet weather yet. as you take a look at the city, not too clear this morning. we are dealing with cloud cover bay area wide and into the afternoon we'll see the low

clouds in the picture. as you step outside this morning, dealing with the clouds in addition to patchy fog and temperatures sitting in the 40s and even 50s for the most part. this afternoon not warming up a lot. in fact, the clouds helping keep us warm today are going to prevent us from getting warm into the afternoon. you can see rain being from low to mid 50s although mostly sunny skies. any chance of rain will be later on in the day. satellite showing most of the west coast is covered in clouds. a little bit of a light on shore flow pushing those clouds into the inland locations. in term of the rainfall we may see, we're looking at a few hundredths of an inch. certainly not a significant rain event. low pressure dropping down, down into california, that's where the bulk of the weather is going to be. they're going to need the umbrellas more than we do. northern california looking

good. 57 for sacramento, 59 for fresno. here in the bay area, numbers in the others for the most part. east bay seeing high 40s and low 50s as well. 52 for walnut creek and 51 for napa. they're topping out at 50 today. monday we see the slight chance of rain, sunshine in store for tuesday. wednesday partly cloudy conditions and thursday, we're actually putting on the 7 day the icon with the rain. that's because our consider chance for seeing wet weather is toward the end of the work week, even though we're not going to see significant rainfall totals but it will be wetter than anything we see right here in the bay area for the next couple of days. in the clear for the most part but with keep your raincoat handy just in case. >> the good thick is it sounds like a weather for all of the holiday shopping lists. >> absolutely. >> yeah i haven't even started. >> tomorrow is the business
